“Another life-lesson: until our minds are emptied, how will we receive?”
Arun Shourie, Does He Know A Mothers Heart: How Suffering Refutes Religion

“To derive joy from simple things; to derive joy from beautiful, giving persons; to give back, indeed to give away; to be thankful, as we are so often told we must be, for small mercies.”
Arun Shourie, Does He Know A Mothers Heart: How Suffering Refutes Religion

“No cosmic purpose is served by our suffering or that of those dear to us—just as no cosmic purpose is served by our being born or by our dying; and that for the simple reason that there is no ‘cosmic purpose’.”
Arun Shourie, Does He Know A Mothers Heart: How Suffering Refutes Religion
